My reaction to "This American Life's" original episode about Apple's manufacturing processes was not unusual. The show compelled lots of people to say, basically, "Hey, wait a minute, maybe we should think more about how these electronic gadgets we love so much are made."

Apple is a global company that sells gadgets in more than a hundred countries. For a combination of reasons, building such products in the United States these days is pretty much a non-starter. For example, Chinese workers are willing to work harder and for less than American workers, and the entire electronics supply chain is now located in China. And as Apple itself said in Charles Duhigg's excellent New York Times article, fixing America's employment and inequality problems is not Apple's responsibility.

But, right now, all that is beside the point.

In relaying some details reported by Mike Daisey that have turned out to be lies, I was unfair to Apple and our readers.

wtf did I just read? this is rubbish... fuck sake. appl producing shit in china because they are selling products worldwide, right ? wait till china has to raise their wages. it will move to vietnamn, then back to the USA
